Review of epidemiology in clinical cardiology
Abstract:
The application of epidemiological techniques to clinical cardiology has led to very significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary atherosclerosis. However, these epidemiological techniques almost necessitate the use of modern computer technology, including data base management systems, in the application of which medicine has lagged behind other areas. Businessmen have come to rely on computerized methods of data storage, retrieval, and analysis to sell commercial products and manage our finances--while their medical counterparts rely on imcomplete data in forgetful minds beset with bias and emotion to use powerful therapeutic tools in the treatment of patients. Hopefully, the next decade will see a new generation of clinical researchers who will combine epidemiology and computer technology for the improvement of health care delivery.
